Congressman Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
has for same years been in bad health, but
is said to be growing stronger within the
past few months, though during the last
session he seldom made a speech, and was
frequently absent from his seat. The vet
eran Congressman is said to be very vain of
his voice, which, he thinks, has contributed
much to his success in life. He has tend
ency to overwork, probably forgetting in
his zeal that old age can't honor the heavy
drafts that are often made on the prime of
life. In his young days he lived in Boston
and worked in jewelry shop. He was then
Democrat. One of the Boston papers says
he is the first man since Dr. Franklin, who
went from Boston to Philadelphia, and ac.
quired any eminence.

Rhode Island is beehive of manufacturing

sage that it is practical and business-lke docu-
